Richmond has confirmed its squad for Friday night's AFLW practice match against Brisbane at Brighton Homes Arena.

The visiting Tigers will take on the Lions in their final hit-out ahead of Round 1, with the clash kicking off at 7.15pm AEST. 

Richmond has fielded a strong side for the interstate clash, with its top five in last season's Best and Fairest, Monique Conti, Eilish Sheerin, Kate Dempsey, Katie Brennan and Grace Egan, all named to play.

Young gun Ellie McKenzie and recently-appointed co-vice captain Tessa Lavey are also exciting inclusions in the side, as they return from injury-impacted 2023 seasons. 

Fans will also gain a glimpse at recruits Jodie Hicks and Ally Dallaway, as well as draftees Isabel Bacon and Mackenzie Ford.

Sarah Hosking will miss the practice match as she works her way back from a hamstring injury. 

The practice match will be streamed live here.

Richmond commences its sixth season in the league against West Coast at Mineral Resources Park on Friday, August 30 from 9.15pm AEST in Round 1.
